About
The Meta Quest 3S is a lower-cost mixed reality headset that shares the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor with Quest 3 while using fresnel lenses and a single LCD panel. It provides full access to the Meta Quest software library and supports color passthrough for mixed reality applications. Compared to Quest 3, it has thicker optics and lower edge clarity but maintains similar performance in games. The headset uses inside-out tracking and Touch Plus controllers with capacitive sensors. It is designed primarily as an upgrade from Quest 2 and an entry point to mixed reality experiences.
